Rock Walrus Craft for Kids

Walrus Rock Craft

Find smooth river rocks that mimic the shape of a walrus. Glue them together using super glue. Cut whiskers from craft foam or use yarn. Use pipe cleaners for the tusks and glue on googly eyes.

If you want to use your creature outside in your garden, paint on the eyes instead of using the googly eyes because the googly eyes will turn yellow in the sun.

Walrus Sock Craft

See the General Directions on how to make no- sew sock creatures. To make this walrus fill the toe of a sock with poly-fil and then tie it off using a tiny rubber band. Place small wads inside the sock to make the walrus' flippers and tie them off with rubber bands. Fill the rest of the sock with poly-fil leaving enough of the sock unstuffed to form a tail. Tie off the body part with a rubber band. To make the tail, flatten the sock and glue it closed with a low temp. glue gun or sew it closed.
